    I am 90% sure you can apply for and do your theory test when you are 15, but you won't be able to drive on the road until you turn 16 and after receiving your Cat W licence.

    In theory there is no age limit at which you can do your drivers theory test! However, you must submit your application for a learner permit no more than 2 years after passing your theory test. So, effectively, in your case you can do the test at 14.
